There was an old bug that I just made a duplicate of this one (for those wondering that noone bothered to fill a bug before).
Thanks for fixing this. However, this only escalates bug 1453757 (even though I am not sure if that is not a regression - I think id did not use to happen on 14.04). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1427636 Title: Desktop doesn't get keyboard focus Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series: Confirmed Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When a window application is open, the desktop icons can get mouse focus but the keyboard event are send to the last window.
